Recipe Of Sadness

Take two brothers of Betrayal Add them to the cooking pot Put in some memories of mother While they sit and watch her rot Don’t forget her dementia Your younger brother has to cope Ignore his pleas for help Just act like a couple of dopes Add some tears of sadness It's the only liquid to use Youngest brother begins to break So pour in a dose of blues Put some salt in the pot In wounds it makes it hurt As I do everything for her I will add my bloody shirt Stir in all the ingredients Now add a pinch of madness Now let it simmer for six years That's the recipe of sadness David Swinden© 26/6/2016
